WINONA, Minn. — Police arrested a Winona driver who had been reported driving poorly and who, when later located by an officer, admitted to missing several turns and consuming alcohol. Arrested was Lydia Julia Paulson, age 38. This was about 9 p.m. The officer said her blood tested at 0.14% alcohol — six points more than allowed. The erratic driving was reported by another motorist. This was on the East Side near Sarnia and Hamilton streets. The other motorist followed the errant vehicle, a gray sedan, to the 1200 block of Belleview Street, where the driver parked. The officer found Paulson, whom he described as having slurred speech, poor balance, and the odor of alcohol. She failed standardized field sobriety tests.
